This rapid accumulation led to the EN-
ployment under the authority of con-
gress of board of pension appeals, con-
slstlng of three persons whose duty was
to examine all appeals in pension cases
and to submit the result in the form of
written opinion to the secretary, which,
If approved and signed by him, became
the dicision of the department and the
final action in the claim. 1t was soon
found, however, impossible even for this
board to keep pace with this rapidly
growing business, and congress accord
ingly upon the recommendation of the
secretary of the interior, in the appro-
priation act of July 81, 1886, provided
for the appointment OF six additional
persons to be appointed by him, and
from whom he was authorized to consti-
tute two additional boards of pension ap-
peals.
In the month of October, 1886, the
board of pension appeals was reorganiz-
ed upon plan set forth in the order of the
secretary. Under this plan of organiza.
ton, though the work was much advanc-
ed, it was found that even with this in
crease of force it was impossible to do
much more than to keep pace with the
new cases of appeal, so that but little i'm
preston was made in reducing the mass
of accumulated business. Congress again
provided for an additional increase of
three members of said board in the act
approved March 8, 1887, who were duly
appointed organized into fourth board,
and entered upon the performance of
their duties during the month of July,
1887.
Since that time the work has been
pushed forward as rapidly as was con
sistent with careful and proper con-
sideration of the claims presented on ap-
peal. Most gratifying results have been
accomplished, and at the present time
the Accommodations of past years have been
practically disposed of, and the current
appeals are now being decided as rapid
ly as the claims can be prepared and
sent up from the pension Office to this
department..
RAILROADS.
The report of the commissioner of
railroads and the accompanying report
of the railroad engineer of his Office, here
with transmitted, state detail the fHan-
cial condition and material facts relative
to the the several railroads aided by the
government. The commissioners report
embraces twentythree railroads subsi-
died or aided by land grants. The en-
gineer reports the roads examined to ba
II good condition and advancing in i'm
proyements.

SCHOOL LANDS.

Attention is again called to the status
of school lands in the territories. Under
existing laws the sixteenth and thirty
sixth sections in all the territories are re.
served from entry and settlement. The
governors unite in asking the passage of
an act authorizing the leasing of these
lands for the benefit of the territorial
schools. 1t is suggested that the lessees
should be prohibited from mining, out
ting timber, or committing other waste,
and that the leases in each territory res
pectively should terminate upon its ad.
mission to the union as a state.
In closing this report l do not think l
should let the occasion pass without &C
knowleding my Indebtedness to Assistant
Secretary Muldrow for the able advice,
unremitting labors, and perfect integrity
with which he has co operated in the gen
erai administration of this office. | de-
sire also to express my high apprecia-
tion to the zeal, efficiency, and fidelity
with which the chiefs of the several
bureaus and their respective corps of
officers and employees have discharged
the trusts confded to them.
Very respectfully,
l.. Q. G. LAMAR, Secretary.

DISPOSAL OF THE PUBLIC LANDS.

During the year in Dakota the lands en-
tered under the homestead, prescription,
and timber culture laws aggregate 1861
271 acres; while the area required by
final proof and cash entry was 1,5S6,672
acres. In Wyoming 3o3,1S5 acres were
taken up under the various laws, and in
about Idaho 100000 acres. In Utah the
total disposition of the public lands since
the opening of the land office in 1869
amounts to 4, 15S, 743.3S acres. Ia Arizona
and New Mexico settlement on the public
lands has been rapid.

territories from the unusual severity IL
lsst winter, together with the low prices
prevalent during the year, have somewha
checked the progress of the cattle indus
try, so far as it is carried on upon large
ranches; but CREST advances in other i'm
portsnt branches of stock raising have
more than counterbaianced this depres-
sion. The aggregate stock wealth of the
territories in cattle, horses, sheep and
swine has kept pace with the general pro-
gress in other respects.
In Idaho, Utah, sad Wyoming much
attention is being paid to the introduc-
ton of better grades in horses. cattle, and
sheep. Already it is claimed that "the
Utah range horse is better snimsl for
his weight and size than any other in the
market; that the mountain qualities OF
fine feet and lungs remain with the horse
for the remainder of his career, no matter
where he may co." and that Wyoming
/ horses have strong and endurable con
stIoution, with clear, bright eye, and a
frame knit together for hard service;
their feet are compact and neither too
large nor too small, but round and
strong, with walls and frames to support
the animal"
To the altitude and the rare bracing
air, the peculiarities of the soil and of
the turf, as well as to care in breeding,
the excellence of these horses is attri-
buted.
The yearly product il precious metals
of Arizona is estimated at S6,103,S7S; of
New Mexico, in gold and silver, $4,000;
Dakota, S3,125,000: Idaho, S7,4So,060:
! Utah, S6,071,000. The mines of Wyom.
ing have not yet been largely developed
| but its resources are undoubtedly rich
and varied. Extensive oiI-felds have
been discovered, promising a very large
yield; but the wells have been plugged
to await transportation facilities. Up
10 this time the greatest development at
the mineral wealth of Washington terri
tory has been in its coal-beds, which
seem inexhaustible and furnish every
grade of coal. In Alaska the mines on
Douglass island are producing 100000
in bullion per month, and the capacity of
the mills is to be increased.
The mining interests of the territories
have been benefited by their recent agri
cultural development. This is especially
| true in Arizona and New Mexico, where
| the reduced cost of living makes possible
| the working of mines formerly unprofita-
| BILE. The governor of Idaho urges the
repeal of the alien land act so far as min
ing properties are concerned. He says:
"Had this law been applicable to agricul-
| tural, grazing, coal, al timber lands only
| it would have been just and right, but the
mines of Idaho are mostly undeveloped
and are in the hands of poor men, who
are not able to make the necessary i'm,
! provements. 1t can not be claimed that
! the holding of this class of property by
| aliens is any serious injury to any ons.
1t certainly results in great benefit to the
miners of this territory" The governor
of Montana makes similar recommen-
| datiO1r.
